116.965 engine 420 v8 pulls 150-155 lbs compression
 
u folks think 150-155 lbs compression is a pretty decent engine?
I spend 2 hrs to do the Compression test, is not difficult u do need some burning desire to do that.

I heard within 10% is a good eng.

Seems fine to me. The M116 is around 9:1 static from memory.

The bottom ends on them pretty much last forever, mind the timing chain guides (get the updated Meyle HD units) and the oil changes to prevent chain stretch.
